The End of a Story

S1 | What's up with Nabila

Love is a wild force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison him, it enslaves us. And when we try to understand it, it will only make us lost and confused. There will come a time in your life when you have to choose to turn the page, write another book or just close it.

After last night's incident, Nabila's joy just disappeared. Too soon and too many painful things that make the wound gaping back. Guilt on his fiancee also makes Nabila reluctant to just give news.

"Sir Bibil is sick?" inara asked when she saw Nabila was silent.

"What a pity, Brother Bibil is fine! Cepet spent breakfast, later you go to school," replied Nabila with a smile. The teenage girl just nodded her head.

"It's still not okay, mending permission, son. Rather than later at work not focused on it," said Bu Halimah while stroking Nabila's back.

"I'm fine, Bu. Don't worry, mom!"

Aisyah and Ashila were just silent, both of them did not dare to ask. They chose to give time to his best friend, because later Nabila would tell a story at the right time. As they were enjoying breakfast, the sound of the bell made them stare at each other. They rarely receive guests in the morning.

"You continue to eat breakfast, let Mother open the door," said Ms. Halimah.

When the door opened, Ms. Halimah saw Farhan standing with a worried face.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mom. I'm sorry to see you in the morning, the Bible is there, isn't it, Mom?" ask Farhan.

"Walaikumsalam, come in Nak Farhan! The bibil is! Regular breakfast with other kids. Farhan boy want some breakfast?" Ms. Halimah offered, despite knowing that she must have refused.

"No need, Mom. Farhan already had breakfast, so Farhan wait for Bibil here, Mom!"

Ms. Halimah just nodded, she went back inside to make drinks as well as calling Nabila.

"Who is Mak Haji who came this blind morning?" ask Ashila.

"That's ahead there's Nak Farhan, Bil!" said Bu Halimah made Nabila choke.

Immediately, Aisyah gave her water. "Slow down, Bil!"

"She's worried about you, son. Finish breakfast meeting him in the living room, yeah! I want a bikini to drink."

I don't know what Nabila's thinking right now, which is for sure he's not looking to meet anyone. Though Farhan was not wrong, only his heart and mind were fighting a great battle. Not wanting to disappoint again, Nabila finally met Farhan. Aisyah and Ashila decided to get ready, as they were going to go to work.

"Darling! You're doing all right? Why is there no news from Semalem? I'm worried!" Farhan said when he saw Nabila coming. The face of his future wife looks very pale with a puffy face, no matter what the cause. And that was a big question for Farhan.

"Why baby? You sick?" tanya Farhan and Nabila shook their heads.

"I'm fine, A Farhan. Just from Semalem a little headache. God willing, it is so much better now!" replied Nabila while forcing a little smile.

"Relatedly? There's nothing you cover up about Aa, is there, baby?"

The deg!

Nabila's heart was racing, as strong as he could bear to not cry. But it could not be held back, tears just dripped. Farhan was astonished.

"Why baby? What's up?" Farhan rubbed the flowing tears on his future wife's cheeks. "Same story Aa, why you baby?"

"I love A Farhan, don't stay with me Aa!" the words just flowed from his mouth. Whether it came from the heart, out of his chaotic mind.

Farhan commented on his smile, "Hey dear.. Dengerin Aa yes! Whenever Aa will always love you, Aa will never stay with you. Except...."

"Except what?" tanya Nabila interrupted her crying.

That look made Nabila's mind again chaotic. She did not answer him, even just nodding or shaking her head.

"At noon, Aa didn't go to the office?" tanya Nabila diverted the conversation.

"Aa want your anther to the Hospital, right? All Ajakin Acil same Ais make together, when else can Aa pick you rich gini. There ready! Aa wait here," said Farhan while stroking Nabila's head gently.

Nabila felt very lucky to be the choice of Farhan's heart, but deep down still stored another name that until now he can not forget. Especially now that Nabila knows, if the man has returned to the city of Bandung.

After saying goodbye to Ms. Halimah, they went to work together. Although in different places, today Farhan will deliver the three.

"Alhamdulillah, irit gasoline today do not bring a motorbike!" pekik Ashila made Aisyah and Farhan chuckle, while Nabila just remained silent and stared out the window with sadness.

Nabila went down first, because the Hospital where he worked was not so far from the boarding house.

"Yes first, A Farhan. Please leave Ais with Acil until work! Tag it later for the gas!" canda Nabila makes Ashila tick.

"Be careful, baby! If there is any connection Aa yes. The phone does not die again rich semalem, do not make Aa worry! That's it, Aa pamit baby! Assalamualaikum!"

"Glambeach!" Nabila waved his hand until Farhan's car was invisible.

While on the way, Farhan tried to ask Aisyah and Ashila. Because he felt that something was wrong with his future wife.

"What's wrong with the Bible? You guys know something, right? The lips may not cry for no reason" said Farhan while breathing heavily.

"Ask Ais, yeah! I have to get off, noh my office is up ahead!" Ashila chose to dodge, because she was the type of person who could not keep her mouth.

After Ashila came down, Farhan looked at Aisyah who was seen breathing heavily as well. Farhan knows, maybe something happened. Only, Nabila did not want to open with him.

"Ais apologizes in advance A Farhan, but this is beyond Ais's power to tell stories. If it's time, Ais believes that Bibil will definitely tell the story. Better now A Farhan do not guess much, because eventually Ais sure it will make the heart and mind of A Farhan mess. Let's just wait for Bibil to tell you what happened."

Farhan only nodded his head, as he agreed with what Aisyah said. After all he just needed to wait and maintain his relationship well.

"Thank you for driving us, A Farhan! Be careful on the road!" aisyah said as she got out of the car of her best friend's future husband.

There was guilt in Aisha, for not telling Farhan the truth. But it was completely beyond his power, Ayesha could not possibly have preceded Nabila to explain.

Meanwhile, Nabila pensively himself. He again recalled meeting with Riki last night, a meeting he never wanted at all. Because now Farhan is by his side.

"When! Don't dream! Many patients are going home, please clear the administration today!" reprove her superior.

"L-yes Mom! Sorry I am not feeling well" said Nabila reasoned.

"What's wrong with you today, Nabila?" batin Nabila said it himself. Finally, he decided to focus on his work.
